Clinico-laboratory tests of the new Soviet polymer sorbent Regenkur obtained on the basis of rarely cross-linked cellulose ester were conducted on 60 patients with acute purulent diseases of the soft tissues in the surgical clinic, Sechenov Medical Academy.

The duration of hospital stay decreased by one third. Advantages of the new sorbent over those of the well-known foreign analogue Debrizan were revealed.
